Brio (6 alerts)
Type / model
ART no. 30198 Batch 2H (XXX)
Description
Stacking Penguins. There are two penguins - a big penguin in black and white with a yellow beak and orange collar and a smaller penguin in grey with a yellow beak and white dots and flowers on the belly.
Risk
The product poses a risk of choking because the big penguin's yellow beak is glued on. In some cases the gluing is insufficient and the beak may come loose. The beak fits entirely into the small part cylinder. If a small child puts the beak in its mouth it may choke. The product does not comply with the Toys Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71.
